Blackberry Peach Sangria
I mentioned in my Daily Things that I’m trying to appreciate summer before I get too fall-excited. Well, sangria seems to be the perfect way to really appreciate summer, don’t you agree? I’ve got a few refreshing bevvies I want to post while it’s still a bazillion degrees outside, starting with this amazing concoction. Sangria…

Lavender Prosecco Mojito
Happy almost-weekend, folks! I hope most of you haven’t spent this week sick like I have. Though it has made the week go by quickly in a haze of cough medicine and fuzzy-brain-syndrome. And now it’s Thursday evening already, and tomorrow’s Friday! So I’m plotting another batch of this beautiful cocktail I made last weekend. …

New Flora: Sea Lemon + Hot Toddy Recipe
Look at the crazy thing I found at the farmer’s market this weekend! No, it’s not actually called a sea lemon. It’s called a fingered citron or a Buddha’s hand. But the lovely lady at the farmer’s market stand said she likes to name each one individually depending on what it looks like – she…

The process is simple: take some kind of liquid (juice, alcohol, coffee/tea, flavored simple syrups, or any combination of those things), and freeze it. But while it’s freezing,…

Tipsy Blackberry Sage Lemonade
It’s about to be summer. And it already feels like it. Sacramento summer. Meaning I need no end of cooling refreshing beverages to detract from the summer heat, and I’m getting a head start on preparing those! Fortunately, I love making such delicious drinks! I especially love this one because, aside from the…

El Pepino
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For those of you, like me, who don’t want green beer or Irish cream to celebrate the day, here’s a delicious green cocktail for you to toast with! No, this has nothing to do with the Pepino melon I featured on my first New Flora post. In that post,…

Cantaloupe Coconut Mojito
Here’s the recipe I mentioned in my Hawaii post — I tried to make this right before I left, but it was just a little bland and unexciting. The simple addition of mint simple syrup turned this into a delicious treat! I wanted to make this more exciting without adding sugar, but this mint…
